Once the table is at 90°
with the blade,
tighten the hex nut and the knobs.
Table Tilt Scale Calibration
To calibrate the table tilt scale:
Make sure the table is at 90° to the blade
and the blade tensioning and tracking is
properly set. (See Page 12 & page 14 for
details)
Disconnect the machine from the power
source and loosen the pointer screw shown
in figure-25. Align the tip of the pointer with
the 0” mark on the tilt scale and tighten the
pointer screw.

Table Alignment
To make accurate cuts with your band saw,
the table should be aligned properly with
the blade.
To align the table:
Make sure the blade tension and tracking is
done correctly. Disconnect the machine
from the power source and loosen the two
knobs under the table. Place a straightedge
on the table so that the straightedge
touches the blade and is parallel to it as
shown in figure-26. Make sure the straight-
edge touches only the flat part of the blade,
not the teeth.
Now, use a ruler to measure the distance
between the miter slot and the straight edge
on both sides on the table R & L. See
figure-26
Adjust the table until the distance on both
sides of the table is equal and tighten the
knobs.
